The Linux Progress Patch is a kernel patch which displays a full-screen logo with a progress bar. It hides the normal startup messages printed by the kernel, and is meant for people that don't care about possibly confusing boot messages.

Hi all, as well we got a problem with the current LPP-2.4.20 patch, which is included at the LPP 0.4.2 package. So, if you compile your kernel with a "theme" for a screen resolution of 1024x768 your kernel might be get panic or your kernel doesn't want to boot a bit. This "bug" was only experienced at Red Hat and Slackware 8.0, might be also available with other distributions, so beware. Might be fixed at the next time, but I don't want to promise anything. regards, Tobias Mathes. Maintainer of LPP
0.4.2 - 2002/01/29 - Tobias Mathes <tobias@mathes.biz> . moved /scripts to /unsupported - moved /pics to /unsupported - moved theme_install to /unsupported - added fblogo-0.5.0 to /contrib/fblogo (http://freshmeat.net/projects/fblogo/) - moved patches to /patches - added lpp-2.4.20 to tree - added lpp-2.4.12 to tree So after a long break, support for LPP is back. I am being now the maintainer for LPP, Cajus isn't care about it. Your help is already welcome, so send me your patches. I hope, I've time to code finally this long planned lpp-themes online sys. ;) Much thanks go out to Benjamin Schieder, who contributed a patch for 2.4.20 (orginally made for ROCK Linux). I am pissed off by the Debian guys, might be I am wrong. Read more at the README.Debian file. Check out the TODO for further information. ^^ -- Tobias Mathes
